How many people have wars and climate change displaced? 12 million people fled Ukraine in the 2 years since Russia invaded. Around 65 million people fled Europe during the second world war which took 6 years. Did they need some kind of advanced plan to be moved? So, how do we displace 24 milllion people? The same way we always have: with whatever transports we have available.

The other places you mention were not islands. People could walk out if necessary.

Unless you can propose at least a rough outline of something practical (e.g. what ships might be used, a time estimate for how long it would take to move all of the people, personal belongings and the hardware, and a plan for how to get 24 million people to willingly leave their homes without a fight) I think you should give it up.

As I said, it's worthwhile to discuss alternatives, but it's not worthwhile to continue to discuss ones that are obviously infeasible.
